Vote Against SC resolution Repeal "Commend Luna Amore"
Ministry Review
Written by Hms unicorn
Despite the recommendation against, let me preface this by saying that this proposal is a welcome change to the recent trend of pointless and spam Security Council resolutions. The proposal seeks to repeal the commendation of Luna Amore, possibly best-known as long-term Issues Editor. The proposal does not claim that the original commendation is unwarranted. To the contrary, it argues that the commendation is not written well enouh, and that Luna Amore deserves a better one.
While this is a reasonable argument, the problem lies on the fact that, currently, no draft for a replacement, better written commendation exists. The author of the proposal has avoided to commit to writing one, and there is no sign that some other credible author is planning to undertake the replacement task. As a result, there is a plausible danger of repealing this resolution, in expectation of a better replacement that never comes.
For this reason, we recommend a vote against the proposal at the current time.
